Lavatories on modern aircraft are very expensive, and include features that have required substantial upfront and long term investments by the world's airlines to design and develop. Airlines and aircraft manufacturers continue to investigate ways to improve lavatory design technology to increase functionality and reduce costs of production, while maintaining adequate levels of safety, hygiene and amenity. For this reason many modern lavatories are now no longer of the chemical toilet blue water recirculated electric flush variety. Instead lavatory manufacturers have progressed to vacuum flush technology to eliminate solid and liquid residue from the basin, patented in 1975.

I'm sure that by now you've hopped on the Game of Thrones train, and if you haven't you sure as hell should. This is without a doubt, the best recap of the series I've seen so far. But what I find most curious about the novels so far -- there are five of them with two more inbound -- is that the author, George R. R. Martin, doesn't do any of his work on a modern computer, but instead perfers to write these epic novels on
that is probably as old as most of the show's stars. You see this is of particular interest to me since all of my sites -- and when I say ALL, I mean all -- are managed by old school DOS based batch files that I've written and re-written over the last several years. So it's just nice and perhaps a little reassuring, to see that I'm not the only person hanging onto old 1990 era technology.

Speaking of the show's young stars, here is 17 year old Maisie Williams -- aka Arya Stark from Game of Thrones -- attempts the cinnamon challege. And fails in spectacular fashion.

Ibiza is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, 49 miles off the coast of the city of Valencia, in eastern Spain. It is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, an autonomous community of Spain. Ibiza is considered to be a popular tourist destination, especially due to its legendary and at times riotous nightlife centred around two areas: Ibiza Town, the island's capital on the southern shore and Sant Antoni to the West. The island's government is trying to encourage a more cultured and quieter tourism scene, passing rules including the closing of all nightclubs by 6 a.m. at the latest, and requiring all new hotels to be 5-star.

Hey Ernie, Ever wonder what it would be like to go 130 mph down a dirt road? Or even 100 when you can't see past the hood due to dust? Well here's a little taste of that, in a twin turbo trophy truck that makes about 1000 hp. Hope you can use this. Scott

Yesterday, the New Jersey Senate approved a pair of damaging gun control bills. One of which was Senate Bill 993, which would further restrict New Jersey's magazine capacity restriction from 15 to 10 rounds, for any semi-automatic weapon. And by any semi-automatic weapon, behold my 1978 Marlin Model 60 with a non-detachable 17 round tube fed magazine; which if Chris Christie signs this bill, this 36 year old plinker would be considered an illegal assault weapon in the state of New Jersey. This is why people who don't know shit about a given subject, should not be the ones to legislate it.
